Flip Flops and Florida – the Perfect Fit

Flip flops and Florida go together like bread and butter, like peanut butter and jelly, like salt and pepper, like… well, you get the idea. Some things in life you just can’t separate. They’re the perfect fit. They’re better together. Flip flops in Florida are like that. I have about a gazillion pair in my closet, and yet, I never have enough. I’m perpetually shopping for flip flops that are different, not those commonplace run-of-the-mill ones that everyone has. I like my shoes, whether flip flops or not, to be unusual — something that’s uniquely “me!”

Florida is called the Sunshine State for a reason. Sixteen years ago I traded my snow boots for flip flops and have never looked back. I know there’s a bit of a temperature and cultural gap between Pennsylvania and Florida, but for me, life is better when my toes are free to breath. Let’s face it, you just can’t wear flip flops in a freezerbox! And if my toes are happy, I’m happy. Here, I wear them from sun-up to sun-down… to the beach, to dinner, to church and everywhere in between. It’s hard not to wear flip flops when you live in a sensational, sunny climate like Florida. They’re the official Florida State Shoe. (Honestly, I don’t know if we have an “official” State Shoe, but if we did, I’m confident it would be the fabulous flip flop.)

Flip flops are a Southern Girl’s Glass Slipper!

Custom Flip Flops from Your Own Photography

Recently, while creating some custom-made products for my tropical Zazzle Store (I loooove Zazzle!), I noticed they added a new product. Flip flops! Then I discovered that I could customize them with my own Florida-themed photography. It was a match made in heaven. They’re simple, but stylish. And, they pass the “3C” test for me — cute, creative, and comfortable.

Check them out for yourself. It’s my travel fashion tip for today. I know you have tons of travel photos strategically placed within dozens of digital albums or sitting comfortably somewhere in the cloud. Pull out a few and experiment with them. It’s art you can wear. They’re the ultimate personalized wardrobe accessory. Don’t forget, you can also add a layer of text with your photo; add your name, vacation destination, resort name, etc. Take a peek at the ones I’ve created to get your creative juices flowing. Then, click the link to Zazzle, and let your imagination soar. Whether you’re headed to the beach, that long-awaited Caribbean cruise, or a backyard barbecue, no one will have flip flops like you!
